The boos and jeers echoed throughout the grandstand opposite of the start-finish straight at Silverstone Circuit on Saturday as Max Verstappen did his post-qualifying interview after snagging P2.
While the Red Bull driver found the reaction “a bit disappointing” because he couldn’t hear Billy Monger’s questions, he largely brushed off the negative reaction itself.
"If they want to boo, they do that,” Verstappen said. “For me, it’s not going to change anything. I’m happy to always be here. It’s a great track, great atmosphere in general.
“Maybe some of them don’t like me, but that’s fine.
